I downloaded SQuirreL SQL and I want to use it as an Oracle client, but when I go to Drivers tab, the following jars are missing:
Oracle OCI Driver
Oracle Thin Driver
How can I fix this problem?
Download ojdbc7.jar
you need an Oracle account, but the e-mail is the only important detail that you need to provide (you can add any characters for Work Phone, Company Name, etc.)
Go to the SQuirreL SQL installation folder (E.g.: C:\Program Files\squirrel-sql-3.7.1) > lib and put ojdbc7.jar there.
Restart SQuirreL SQL.
The file ojdbc7.jar has to be downloaded from the following page, as you must accept the license agreement: https://www.oracle.com/technetwork/database/features/jdbc/jdbc-drivers-12c-download-1958347.html
Note that you are not requested to log in nor to provide your email address.

I'm setting up a brand new system and decided to install TTU 15.10.04 (my old machine had TTU 14). When I run my apps, I get this error:
The 'TDOLEDB' provider is not registered on the local machine.
I used to get this error on earlier versions, but all I had to do was make sure my app was running in 32-bit mode. After checking everything multiple times and not being able to isolate the problem, I searched for the OLE DB installation folder on my new machine, but have not been able to find it. So I checked my old machine and found that it was installed here:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Teradata\Client\14.00\OLE DB Provider for Teradata
I have no such equivalent folder on my new machine. The only thing I have is OLE DB Access Module, but I am sure that's not it. I have concluded that I do not have the OLE DB provider installed at all and cannot seem to find out where to get it. It's as if it has disappeared. Any help would be great
You can download the teradata oledb provider for ttu15 HERE
Hope this helps

I am trying to export data from an Interbase Version 5 database file by using the following connection string:
Provider=LCPI.IBProvider;Location=\"<Path To Database>";User ID=******;Password=*****;ctype=win1251"
I have downloaded and installed the from the IBProvider website. I am getting the following error:
The 'LCPI.IBProvider' provider is not registered on the local machine.
I tried manually registering the _IBProvider_v3_vc10_w64_lite_trial_i.dll file but no luck.
Ok, so here is my question can I connect to this database file similarly to a FoxPro database file without having the database software installed?
Ok, I found the answer, I had to download the latest version of FireBird database engine and then attach the database. Then I downloaded the EMS SQL Manager for InterBase/Firebird GUI because I didn't want to bother with using the ISQL command line application.
I have an application made with Delphi 2006 and Firebird 2.5. For connection a use Interbase components from Delphi. I setting up in design time a TIBDatabase with username, password tc, and work ok, but when i want to run application in another pc (first i install Firebird 2.5 on it), i received this error:
Statement failed, SQLSTATE = 28000
Your user name and password are not defined. Ask your database administrator to set up a Firebird login.
What is this? How can I resolve that?
The message clearly states the username and password you're using to connect at design time in your development machine are not valid to the database server you're trying to connect on the other machine (let's call it production). From your message it seems it is not the same server you connect to at design time.
I suggest you to test this issue with ease to put the LoginPrompt property to true on the TIBDatabase component to allow it to ask the user for propper credentials before connecting. You will be able to connect using any valid username/password combination for that server. To be sure the combination are valid, try to connect using the isql command line tool, for example the command
c:\test>isql test.fdb -u sysdba -p masterkey
will connect to c:\test\test.fdb using default username and password. (the firebird root directory must be in the path environment variable for this to work)
Also, you can use the gsec command line tool to adjust the password for this engine or you can provide the create users and change passwords on that production machine before trying to connect to it.
On Windows, firebird default sysdba password is masterkey.
The solution that finally worked for me on windows was starting cmd.exe as administrator and running "C:\Program Files (x86)\Firebird\Firebird_3_0\gsec.exe" -user sysdba -password masterkey -mo sysdba -pw masterkey
This error is because the credentials for Firebird db is simply not stored in the database file. It's stored in the configuration file on the Firebird Server. If you copy over the DB file, and not the password -- you will have a different password.
On Ubuntu machines you can find out the password and username in the file, /etc/firebird/<version>/SYSDBA.password
It'll look something like,
ISC_USER=sysdba
ISC_PASSWORD="password"
Use those credentials to connect to the database file.
At 'isql-fb' from linux terminal and after the 'CONNECT' on database:
- I solved after delete(drop) and recreate the 'SYSDBA' user.
Observation: I had problems with file and folder permission at '/tmp/firebird' and I needed to use 'sudo' or root to open 'isql-fb'
Thanks.
I once got this error trying to connect to a Firebird 3.0.3 database using the Firebird 2.5 client libraries. I just forgot to update the client libraries to 3.0.3. Maybe this will help someone.
I have to connect my app to a customer's Informix 7.2 legacy database.
From what I was able to find out, in theory there should be a database service running on port 50000. The problem is that I cannot find any database service in the Operative System.
So far I'm only able to use dbaccess and perform queries from the command line.
I would like to use a database driver (such as http://code.google.com/p/ibm-db/) so my app can connect and query the database using a cursor, but since I cannot find any database service, apparently I can't...
Am I missing something here? Are there options I'm not considering?
Is it possible to have an Informix database in which the only interface is dbaccess?
See connection strings for Informix
If you use Python you can look at: Python wiki but I would like to extend it a little.
If you work on Windows and have Client SDK then there should be ODBC driver installed on your machine. There is also Linux and other unix versions of such client software. If you install that you can use ODBC to connect to database. On Windows you can use Active State Python 2.6 with win32 extensions which has odbc module included. On other Python implementations you can use win32 extensions or other ODBC module such as mxODBC.
I work also with Jython where I use both JDBC and ODBC drivers. You can see this "in action" in my SO questions like: Problem with Informix JDBC Money format
BTW, if you want to connect to a remote legacy Informix database using Python from a Mac, pypyodbc-informixcsdk could be your only (free) choice. Check this wiki.
On a Windows box, pyodbc + Informix Client SDK + ODBC do the job nicely.
I am using rails freeze 1.2.3 to run a rails app. Because the app is on a remote machine, I used ssh tunnel (ssh -l -L) to show the app on my screen. When I ran it, it correctly prompted the login page, after I put in the info, I got this error:
OCIError in ServiceController
Error while trying to retrieve text for error ORA-12154
I have tried the same app on a different machine w/o using freeze (because that machine has rails version 1.2.3 while current one has 2.0.2). Is that where the error comes from?
Thanks.
That's an Oracle error. It sounds like your database setup is incorrect. Put the error number ORA-12154 in Google and you'll find some useful stuff.
ORA-12154 is a classic. As Sarah points out its nothing to do with your Rails or Ruby per se. ORA-12154 is generated when the Oracle Client can't connect to the oracle server. So most likely your setup is wrong in:
Your database.yml, if you can connect using tnsping or sqlplus (Oracle client utils) you probably just need to look at this.
Your Oracle networking setup, particularly your tnsnames.ora file (found in $ORACLE_HOME/network/admin if I remember correctly). This may need some extra help from a friendly DBA as the tnsnames.ora syntax has quirks. Check this link link text for more info.
Hope that helps.
